EasyJet Apologizes for Fashion Shoot at Holocaust Memorial

EasyJet has pulled copies of its in-flight magazine, easyJet Traveller, after it was discovered that a fashion shoot published in the magazine was taken at Berlin's Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. The photos featured models lounging among massive concrete blocks in the memorial's distinctive "Field of Stelae," which honors Jews killed during the Holocaust. Commercial photography is prohibited at the site, and according to the memorial's director, officials were not notified beforehand. The images were first discovered by the British magazine New Statesman, which contacted easyJet this afternoon. Upon learning of the photos, easyJet apologized for the incident and said that the photos were the work of an outside publishing house.
